Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

“This is the fourth contemporary classical album I’ve listened to in the last couple of days, and I’ve loved them all. Interesting, considering how much I’ve seen this sub-genre disparaged.”

“This is the first time I've heard this one (I mean, it's a live Neil Young album, so I've basically heard it all quite a bit, just not these particular renditions in this sequence). I listened to it three times. Not bad. It's Neil Young, so you pretty much know what to expect. If you like him, you…”
